Narmada Valley Project

The Narmada Valley Project is a large-scale development initiative in India that involves constructing dams on the Narmada River to generate hydroelectric power, provide irrigation, and supply water for domestic use. It aims to support agriculture, meet energy needs, and improve living standards in central India. The project includes major dams like the Sardar Sarovar Dam, which help regulate water flow, generate electricity, and reduce drought impacts. While beneficial for economic growth, it has also faced debates over environmental concerns and displacement of local communities.
